Abstract :Objective: This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles in dysphagia rehabilitation. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science database for articles published between January 1975, and July 2024, using the keyword \\\"dysphagia rehabilitation.\\\" The 100 most-cited articles were selected for bibliometric analysis. Key data extracted from these articles included the title, publication year, author names, total citation count, citation index, journal of publication, impact factor, and type of article. The citation index was calculated by dividing the total number of citations by the number of years since publication to assess the impact and relevance of each article over time. Results: The T100 articles received a total of 22.674 citations. Overall, 61 journals published the T100 articles, with the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (n=12) being the journal that published the most. The United States, followed by England, Canada and Japan had the highest number of articles. Clinical research was the most common type of article among the T100. A strong relationship was found between the citation index and the number of citations (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Due to its growing need, dysphagia rehabilitation is becoming an increasingly popular research area. These findings can help researchers understand the quality and trends in dysphagia rehabilitation research and guide future studies.
